[He is also quiet for a long moment! Just looking at Sora and Kairi, no big deal. Not knowing he's going to perish soon.]
I don't know what it is about him; he just always knew how to follow his heart. I guess it helped him make friends. [A little quieter:] Our island got destroyed. He made friends with Donald and Goofy, and... I got a little jealous.
I thought he had forgot about me and Kairi. I thought he had forgotten our promise to protect her. [A dry laugh.] Not a great look; I don't recommend it. I caused a lot of problems.

Privately, he thinks Kairi is probably more than capable of protecting herself, but she did say she was only in training. And anyway, it isn't like he doesn't understand the urge to keep your precious people out of harm's way. Elliot doesn't know half the lengths Leo would go to in order to keep him safe, and they're practically strangers compared to the islanders.
Still, for Riku to look back, to recognizes his missteps--that's something he can respect, and he inclines his head in quiet acknowledgment.]

He glances at Leo kind of pointedly, but doesn’t say anything. No call outs here.]
I hope to be strong enough so I don’t have to say that anymore. I want to protect my friends—the right way.

Oh, is that the solution?

Yeah. That’s the solution.
